[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 5235611, member: 91461"]Been having a blast identifying coins from my mixed lot from Timeline:bookworm::pompous::snaphappy::woot: I have been able to identify them all (even a tricky, for me, Parthian). But the last, and tiniest, has me scratching my head. It is a tiny obol. Just 0.8 gr and about 7 mm. The alloy appears to be debased silver, my best guess, or possibly bronze. It has an incuse punch on the reverse and the obverse is (best guesses cat?, dolphin ??)... something I would appreciate some help figuring out, as well as the coins homeland: [ATTACH=full]1217387[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1217388[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1217389[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1217390[/ATTACH] Any help is appreciated:happy:[/QUOTE]
